Special Events

The City of Alachua is proud to host a variety of holiday and special events throughout the year. Some events are sponsored by the City and others are sponsored by other organizations and volunteers. There is something to do in Alachua for every season, from arts and crafts festivals in the spring, to the Largest Small Town Fireworks Display in America in the summer, to parades and tree lightings in the fall and winter. Admission to City-sponsored events is free and the entire family is encouraged to attend.

So whether you’re a resident or visiting Alachua for the very first time, be sure to check out our events throughout the year and mark your calendar for family fun.
